This year, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued some alarming statistics about women and heart disease. Their research shows that only about half of women recognize the astronomical risk of heart disease. In the U.S., heart disease is the leading cause of death for women and accounts for 1 in every 5 female deaths. What’s worse is that 1 in 16 women age 20 and older have coronary heart disease, which is the most common type of the illness. These statistics are staggering and it scares me to think that there are so many women who don’t know that they’re at risk! Find out what to look for & how to protect yourself.
All month long, we’ve been working hard to raise money and awareness for heart disease. In my last post, I highlighted some important things to remember that might put someone at risk for heart disease as well as things we can all do to prevent heart disease. Now that we’ve all taken some time to reflect on how it can affect a person’s body, I want to turn your attention to our charity partner for this month: the American Heart Association.
Did you know that heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States? Every 37 seconds, someone dies from cardiovascular disease. Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a heart attack. About 1 in 4 people in the United States dies from heart disease each year. Worse yet, approximately 18 million adults who are 20 years of age or older have coronary artery disease. These numbers are so high! That’s why it’s so important to take healthy measures to protect yourself against its risk factors. Let's talk about the how, what, why and how to protect yourself from Heart Disease.

Whether you have someone that you want to share your Valentine’s Day with, or if you get together for a Galentine’s Day with your friends, it’s a great time to show your love!

Valentine’s Day is coming up! It’s such a fun holiday to celebrate love and show all the people in your life how much they mean to you. The thing I love most about Valentine’s Day is that you can plan something special whether you’re in a relationship with someone or spending the day with your closest friends and family. There are two more weeks until the big day, so you still have plenty of time to find the perfect gift for that special someone in your life. Why not make it even easier? I put together a few gift sets to help you choose the piece of jewelry that says it all. Each of the necklaces that I’m going to...
